This Unknown Protest Series piece focused on the union protests and demonstrations in Wisconsin and also touched on state and federal budgets, all the week of facing the possibility for a government shutdown.
These photos document the evenings experiment. I decided to work with more sculptural material for the evening and step back from the space.
The small figures are made out of clay and came from a workshop I led in the past inspired by Antony Gormley's field series. I gave participants a large hunk of clay and had them break of bits and hold it at arms length and simply squeeze the clay slightly with both hands, leaving a negative impression on the small body of clay, and then make two small indentations for eyes. Some of you may recognize them.
